The Intelligent Machines Lab Reading Group meets every Friday at 11:00 A.M. (tentative) in LT-5, Level 6 (tentative) at Information Technology University, Lahore. We present and discuss publications, tools and experiments from variety of areas like Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Robotics, Human Object Interaction and Geographic Information System (GIS). These meetings are very informal, everyone (faculty members, students, research fellows etc.) is welcomed to join us. Our objective is to provide venue for sharing new developments, enhance mathematical rigor and have fun helping each other.
Organizers: Mr. Javed Iqbal & Mr. Muhammad Akhtar Munir
Please email at javed.iqbal@itu.edu.pk and akhtar.munir@itu.edu.pk if you would like to present a paper at the group.
